Urgent: Looking For Wastegate Valve Seat

[Hanaldo]

Hey guys,

Sorry to post a new thread as I've already posted this in the wanted to borrow thread, but this is urgent and I'm aware some people probably won't look in the other thread.

So basically my car is booked in for a tune on the 24th of Sept, but I have lost the valve seat from my Turbosmart Compgate 40 and no dealers in Perth will have any in stock for 2-3 weeks. Obviously without this I won't be making any boost, so the tune is pointless and I will miss out on Powercruise. If anyone has one I could borrow so I can get my car tuned, I will be your best friend!!

Either PM me or send a text on 0431047984. Cheers guys!

Martin.

Nobody??

I'm desperate guys, I'm willing to give you like 50 bucks or a carton of piss or whatever you want, just to borrow one!? I really need this tune

This time, its probably not the fact that no one likes you but that no one has one.....

Have you tried an Eastern States supplier?

That will fit in a 1kg overnight airbag, delivered before 12:00 next day, usually before 10:00 ....

They're a popular gate, I'm sure someone somewhere has one. Also, that first reason you mentioned is just preposterous

Yeh I've tried, it seems nobody keeps any stock. Turbosmart HQ said they would need to get it in from overseas. Australian product with no product in Australia, it's great.

Have you tried Cartel ?

[Hanaldo]

I did yeh, they sell the gate but don't seem to have the replacement parts?

[eiresgaus]

Doesn't say whether its in stock or not but:

GCG list replacement parts for the other gates but not the Progate, maybe they havent updated the website.

Is that the O ring sits inside the gate and seals against the piston? I can make you one out of stainless steel for $60 express posted. Funny how many people have lost that part.

Did you manage to get your car tuned today mate?

[jay-rod]

Yeh will i see you at powercruise?

I wanna see you at the main straight

[Hanaldo]

Indeed

Car made 350rwhp @16psi. Also made 350rwhp @20psi, so it's got a restriction holding it back somewhere. But it will do for now It'll still be at Powercruise making a bit of noise

Schweet!

Hopefully i get that sort of power

Its getting tuned today :)

[Hanaldo]

How'd you go mate? 340 or something if I remember correctly? You entering PC or just coming to watch? Would be good to head down the straight vs another Hypergear

[jay-rod]

Yup ill be driving on the track

Got 340Hp

Went last year when i was stock

Still need to do alot to my car looks wise though

But that can be next year

[Hanaldo]

Ahh I think I might remember your car there! I remember seeing a 34 that I was pretty sure was stock. If we end up on the track together we shall have to have some runs! You know... for science

[jay-rod]

For Science it is !!!

A quick question.

after i got my car back it does what i think to be excessive backfireing when revving down.

Say im coming to a set of lights, 3rd down to 2nd , with 2nd starting at 3000 revs, it backfires all the way down from 3000 to 1000.

Now its not just 1 backfire, its several and only happens when my foot is NOT on the accelerator.

My guess is to much fuel while decelerating?

( it does sound cool.....but gets anoying...)
